Illustrated by
Alice Ratterree.
Kidnapped and held captive in a birdcage in London by a "giant" named Gulliver, Lily continuously plots her escape home to Lilliput. With only a sliver of danger, the limited plot (spoiler: she escapes) is supplemented with tender new friendships and the forgiveness of her well-meaning but misguided capturer. Ratterree's delicate, detailed pencil and watercolor illustrations enhance the Gulliver's Travels–inspired adventure.
